Written at the height of the war, the novel was, he admitted, of no immediate propaganda value. Instead, it was the story of a household, a family and a journey of religious faith an elegy for a vanishing world and a testimony to a family he had fallen in love with a decade earlier.The Lygons of Madresfield were every bit as glamorous, eccentric and compelling as their counterparts, the Marchmains, in Brideshead Revisited. William Lygon, Earl Beauchamp, was a warm-hearted, generous and unconventional father whose seven children adored him. When he was forced to flee the country by his scheming brother-in-law, his traumatised children stood firmly by him, defying not only the mores of the day, but also their deeply religious mother.In this engrossing biography, bestselling author Paula Byrne takes an innovative approach to her subject, setting out to capture Waugh through the friendships and loves that mattered most to him. She uncovers a man who, far from the snobbish misanthropist of popular caricature, was as loving and complex as the family that inspired him. This brilliantly original biography unlocks for the first time the extent to which Waughs great novel encoded and transformed his own experiences. In so doing, it illuminates the loves and obsessions that shaped his life, and brings us inevitably to a secret that dared not speak its name.As a Sunday Times bestselling author, Paula Byrne masterfully delves into the history of Britain, specifically the intriguing life of the Lygons of Madresfield. The narrative is as captivating as Europes rich tapestry of events, with the authors top-notch storytelling skills evident in every page.For fans of Lucy Worsley (Jane Austen at Home), Hilary Davidson (Material Literacy in 18th-Century Britain), Anne De Courcy (Snowdon), Olivia Laing (Funny Weather), and Colm Tóibín (A Guest at the Feast)....255889Mad World: Evelyn Waugh and the Secrets of Brideshead407407https://www.gandhi.com.mx/368f33cb-7567-33e3-b91d-45bcc7c2428d/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/1747882/e4fc41b4-207c-4350-b6e6-a549008c6397.jpg?v=638338872963400000InStockMXN99999DIAudiolibro20219780008498559_W3siaWQiOiJkNjcwOWFkZC1lMDk0LTQ0NmEtOGJmMi1iYmNjNTk0OGI4MzEiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjQxMSwiZGlzY291bnQiOjAsInNlbGxpbmdQcmljZSI6NDExLCJpbmNsdWRlc1RheCI6dHJ1ZSwicHJpY2VUeXBlIjoiV2hvbGVzYWxlIiwiY3VycmVuY3kiOiJNWE4iLCJmcm9tIjoiMjAyNC0xMi0wMVQwMDowMDowMFoiLCJyZWdpb24iOiJNWCIsImlzUHJlb3JkZXIiOmZhbHNlLCJpc0VsaWdpYmxlRm9yQ3JlZGl0VHJpYWwiOnRydWUsImNyZWRpdFB1cmNoYXNlUHJpY2UiOjF9XQ==9780008498559_A terrifically engaging and original biography about one of Englands greatest novelists, and the glamorous, eccentric, debauched and ultimately tragic family that provided him with the most significant friendships of his life and inspired his masterpiece, Brideshead Revisited.Evelyn Waugh was already famous when Brideshead Revisited was published in 1945.
